Don't Kick Your Dog
I know this life you're living has treated you rough
And maybe all it's taught you is how to be tough
But the walls that you have built up will leave you alone
Unless you learn to throw this world that you've been hating a bone
Now I ain't one to judge
I've been shitty before
But I know that you have been kind
And still could be more
Than just some angry old man
Who's payed far more than his dues
So please don't kick your dog
She's better than you
Sure she's peed on the carpet and has been known to bite
But I could hear you down the hall when you were blacked out last night
You threw up all over the bathroom and wished you were dead
And when you woke up the next morning you forgot what you said
About changing your ways
And quitting the drink
But you've hurt everyone who's loved you
Did you ever stop to think
You can blame only yourself
And not a bottle of booze
That makes you kick your dog
Who's better than you
No one changes over night
But every days a chance to make it right
I know you've said that you might
Break yourself out from this cycle you don't wanna repeat
But every ounce of sweat weighs like a ton of concrete
For now you have to look at all the things that you've done
And no one's gonna hold your hand except for the one
Who still may need a walk
Who still needs to be fed
A good enough reason for you to crawl out of bed
Not hiding feeling sorry
Just taking up space
For there's a world that's out there that you're meant to face
For love is the dream
Where you must take the dive
And it's good enough a reason
For you to stay alive
In the form of stray hair
And a puddle of drool
That reason is your dog
I'm talking about your dog
So please don't kick your dog
She's better than you
And maybe all it's taught you is how to be tough
But the walls that you have built up will leave you alone
Unless you learn to throw this world that you've been hating a bone
Now I ain't one to judge
I've been shitty before
But I know that you have been kind
And still could be more
Than just some angry old man
Who's payed far more than his dues
So please don't kick your dog
She's better than you
Sure she's peed on the carpet and has been known to bite
But I could hear you down the hall when you were blacked out last night
You threw up all over the bathroom and wished you were dead
And when you woke up the next morning you forgot what you said
About changing your ways
And quitting the drink
But you've hurt everyone who's loved you
Did you ever stop to think
You can blame only yourself
And not a bottle of booze
That makes you kick your dog
Who's better than you
No one changes over night
But every days a chance to make it right
I know you've said that you might
Break yourself out from this cycle you don't wanna repeat
But every ounce of sweat weighs like a ton of concrete
For now you have to look at all the things that you've done
And no one's gonna hold your hand except for the one
Who still may need a walk
Who still needs to be fed
A good enough reason for you to crawl out of bed
Not hiding feeling sorry
Just taking up space
For there's a world that's out there that you're meant to face
For love is the dream
Where you must take the dive
And it's good enough a reason
For you to stay alive
In the form of stray hair
And a puddle of drool
That reason is your dog
I'm talking about your dog
So please don't kick your dog
She's better than you
